As far as I know, the speed sensor is included with the block connector for the main loom to the tranny on the later models. This connects at the left side of the box. I thought if the wiring for it went direct to the TCU, without intertwining with other wiring, you could take that loom out of the donor and use it with the replacement tranny.

Unfortunately I strongly suspect they have wound it all together with other wiring, probably with the ECU signal wires. If this is the case you will have to verify that the block connector you have clicked into the box has all the pins going to the correct places. [Each pin will be acting as input or output for different functions.]

The older block will have one less "live" pin[or a blank space] where it should be feeding signal to the speedo for the newer type. If the pins in use are doing the same job as the older block was, i.e. the functions match, then your job will simply be to extend the stand-alone wire for the speedo to the block on the left side, and solder it into the position that is getting feed from the speedo sender inside.

I am thinking out loud here. If Beav or Doug or Randy or Todd or anyone technically clued up has solid information that contradicts my guess here, could you set Tony straight?
